You can also purchase copies of Blue Blood at the Dunlevy family store, Metro Arborist Supplies at 7055 Coffman Road. That’s just off 71st and Georgetown up in Pike Township. Luke is there every day, so stop in, buy a book and pick up a chainsaw while you are at it. I’m sure my brother would be happy to sign some climbing rope for you. If you want an autographed copy, please email me.

The Colts came to basketball country in 1984. For the past quarter century, the team has laid claim to the hearts of sports fans all over the Hoosierstate.

From Bob Irsay to Jim Irsay, from Jason Belser to Bob Sanders, from Bill Brooks to Reggie Wayne, this is the story of the love affair between Indianapolis Colts and their fans.

Perfect for the die-hard tailgater and the casual fan alike, Blue Blood covers the history of the Colts from the Midnight Move to Super Bowl glory.

“When I began covering the entire AFC South in 2008, my exposure to football writers outside of the traditional mainstream increased dramatically. Since then, none of them has as consistently offered the insightful, wellreasoned analysis of Nate Dunlevy at www.18to88.com. He’s a must-read for Colts fans. And he’s a should-read for other fan-bloggers around the league.”—Paul Kuharsky, ESPN.com

“Nate Dunlevy is one of the most entertaining and creative writers working today in the seedy and boisterous underworld of pro football blogging. He’s hopelessly devoted to the Colts when they win, and hopelessly apologetic for their foibles when they blow yet another big game. He is, in short, a football fan. He is a must-read for all those who bleed horseshoe blue—as well as for those who hate the Colts, too.”—Kerry J. Byrne, Publisher/Potentate of Pigskin, Cold, Hard FootballFacts.com

“Nate Dunlevy has the ability to portray a fan’s viewpoint while being thorough and concise in formulating his argument. Instead of makingunsubstantiated claims based on a gut feeling, he presents research and numerous statistics to support his stance. If you are looking for a reason asto why the old media is struggling in this booming new age of popular fan blogs, look no further than the superb quality of Nate’s writing. A mustread for any Colts’ die-hard, he has the heart of a fan, and the head of a professional analyst.”—Derek Schultz XL 950 Indianapolis
